The tranquility this painting suggests is almost unreal. The brightness of the creek illuminates the composition and contrasts with the misty woods in the background. The leftmost panel of this triptych contains the most powerful image of this Canvas Art: the birch tree.
The birch is a powerful and ancient symbol of magic. It is known as one of the three pillars of wisdom (oak, yew, birch), and Celts regarded it as one of the druid guardians (hawthorn, birch, elder).
Being the first tree to reenter Europe after the melting of the great ice, the birch also symbolizes renewal. In Norse mythology, for example, the birch tree was the sacred three of Thor, the god of thunder and rain. As rain is essential to spring growth, people associated the birch with renewal and fertility. The infinite power of the god is transferred to the birch tree, and it is believed that a birch branch attached to a house will protect the dwellers from troubles, bad intentions and lightning.
Having an image of a birch tree at home would also mean cleansing of the past. And if you don’t particularly believe in tree symbolism, just enjoy the calm beauty of Country Creek.
